HM71R - The bigger brother is here!

[@Camrographer]

The 21700 is a must for multi-beam high power flashlights. And the USB high current charging is industry leading. I think the floodlight is not bright enough. They should have made that 1000 lumens. Most people don't need 2700 lumens of throw. I notice that many brands under-power the floodlights. Maybe it's a thermal management issue? Honestly, if I had both the spot and flood which can reach 1500 lumens and perhaps have both running at the same time at 1000, with two red LEDs it would be a winner. I went on the website and none of lights seem to meet this spec.

All the marketing positions this as an industrial tool, but i love the fact it has a warm floodlight for camping so you don't blind friends, and aren't walking around with jarring white light. Is there another model in the Fenix range that you'd recommend for me?

[@FenixlightUK]

The warm light is a great feature - helps with seeing in dusty and foggy conditions too! The HL32R-T has a warm flood light on it so would work in a camping environment (goes down to 5 lumens in that warm light)

[@rptempmail1]

can you turn on both lights at the same time? if not please add!!

[@FenixlightUK]

Like all of the single button units (HM70R, 60R, 61R etc) - The HM71R only has one light available at once - for dual beam operation, HM65R or one of the HP units.

Sir🙏 The new Fenix Hm 61r V2. O comes with 1600 lumens. There is no flood Or spot modes differently, so the beam will be combination type i mean 1600 lumens combined flood & spot? From your practical experience which one will be perfect Hm 61r V2. O Or Hm 71r ?

[@FenixlightUK]

It really depends on what you are using the light for. Having a dedicated flood and spot beam gives you more options. The HM61R is relatively floody due to the TIR lens. HM71R is on the heavier side so if wearing for a longer period time it could become tiresome. As said it really depends on the task in hand.

Can you waterproof this?

[@FenixlightUK]

HM71R is waterproofed - comes with IP68 rating at 2m for 30mins as standard!

Nice, but headlamp only with 18650.

[@FenixlightUK]

Only issue with having this with an 18650 would be the high output would really eat up the battery! Maybe Fenix will do one similar but pair down the outputs a bit!

[@robertomazza4235]

@@FenixlightUK Perfect. I wrote this because in the past on one of my night rides I had to take off, after 2 hours, a headlamp with 21700 because I had a pain in my head.

[@FenixlightUK]

Was it mounted to a helmet? or just worn on your head? I can imagine the lateral and vertical forces you get with cycling would give you a headache with no helmet. Maybe a separate battery box like HP25R? For running, people wear a Buff underneath to help spread the weight out.

[@aliancemd]

I ordered one of these for my parents and I just realized that one of these is heavier than an iPhone, which is quite heavy to hold on your forehead

[@FenixlightUK]

It is a bit heavy - the HM61R v2 is a lighter option

[@Blue-Blazes]

No strobe or sos

[@FenixlightUK]

As a work light, its really not necessary to have strobe and we'd recommend pairing it with a BC05R v2.0 as a marker light.
